Lenovo Edge e420 / HD3000 internal screen not working

[sowhatkg]

Hi all,

Here is what i got on my Lenovo Edge e420.

Mountain Lion with 10.8.5 update, Chameleon bootloader and MacBook Pro 8.1 smbios.

 

Internal screen goes black after the apple logo and external HDMI monitor also does not work.

Got into the system by deleting AppleIntel kexts and enabled screen sharing then put drivers back.

In VNC I see it is working flawlessly with QE/CI and variety of resolutions detected including my native 1366x768.

I've tried Clover also with EDID injection (from Windows) - did not help.

Also tried hdgraphics_patcher (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286879-appleintelhdgraphicsfb-fixed-sl-1068/) - used kext from 10.8.4 also did not help still black screen after apple logo.

One thing also - when booting with external monitor connected or when detaching it the internal screen gets blue sometimes for a few seconds like it is "secondary" (I'm not sure though 'couse I can't connect through VNC with external monitor connected).

 

 

 

Guys please help me to move to right direction I got stuck and I really need hackintosh on this laptop.

 

Thank you.

Try this:

 

 

Boot into Single User Mode -s 

 

/sbin/mount -uw /

 

cd /System/Library/Extensions

 

rm -r AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

 

exit

 

Post back with the results.

[sowhatkg]

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm -r AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

I don't have such a file there - deleted the only one with "FrameBuffer" in file name -  AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext with no effect.

Which graphics card do you have exactly? Please add device and vendor I.D and I'll try to make you a working kext.

4. Repair permissions, rebuild cache (use kext wizard).

 

5. Restart.

 

 

NOTE: if you get another black screen, use the frame buffer in "Alternative framebuffer" folder inside the HD3000.zip.

You should try to switch to SMBios of MBP 8,2 and install temporarily Nullcpupowermanagement.kext. With this combination internal screen should work.

You have to get also modigliani script at olaria.com (registering for free) to patch the pinouts of original AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext. Try to convert the tables to the following ones (working on Edge E320 with all ports- patched kext from 10 8.5 attached):

 

HD3000 Table:

0000000: 0102 0300 1007 0000 1007 0000  ............

000000c: 0100 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000  ........0...

0000018: 0205 0000 0008 0000 0600 0000  ............

0000024: 0602 0000 1000 0000 0900 0000  ............

0000030: 0000 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000  ............

 

After finishing the script, repair permissions and reboot with flags -f -v. If all ports are working you can switch back to SMBios of MBP 8,1 and remove nullcpupowermanagement.kext. Then reboot again with flags -f -v and you should have a working system again.

 

Have fun.

Same black screen. Tried your AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext.zip with no luck - black screen after logo. 

I've also found this topic - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259705-editing-custom-connector-info-for-intel-hd-3000-graphics-sandy-bridge-osx-lion/ I'm not a programmer but I'll try to get into it and post results here.

So far - no solution for internal screen on this laptop.

Have you ever tried to use Chameleon or Enoch as Bootloader? You can get them here in Downloads. Are you using a DSDT.aml?

[sowhatkg]

I used Chinera, Chameleon and Clover with the same result - video IS WORKING but nothing on the internal screen.

I don't use DSDT. aml now.
